Different decisions, the same question behind them.
Investors, insurers, counsel, corporates, funders and investigative firms come to us for one reason: to know who controls, finances and benefits from the other side before they commit.
On a direct deal there is no fund manager’s diligence to lean on. We look at the sponsor, the co-investors and the people paid around the deal, before your capital moves.

A clean submission can still hide a controlling shareholder under sanctions, or a claim that ends up with a related party. We look at the insured, the obligor and the parties they pay, before you bind and again before a claim is paid.
Investigative depth for counsel, without adding headcount.
When the question is who really controls the other side, counsel needs evidence that holds up. We map the ownership, the money and the people around a transaction or a live matter, and tie every finding to its primary source.

Vet the agents, contractors and partners your projects depend on.
Third parties carry most of the spend on a large project, and much of the risk. We look at your agents, contractors and JV partners, and at the companies they pay in turn.
Funding passes through several hands before it reaches a program. We check the grantee, the implementing partners and the people they pay, so you know where the money lands.
